Antibiotics don't help with viruses or resistant bacteria. In live animals the antibiotics are applied on top of the immune system.

I don't think resistant bacteria is going to be an issue if you switch to other antibiotics. People have been using these antibiotics in media for decades and decades in cell culture already and this hasn't been a huge issue in this setting at least.
